This Sunday at the Los Angeles Central Library, Mark Taper Auditorium: “This is Los Angeles — Movies Made By and About the City”

This is Los Angeles – Movies made by and about the city: “From the 1920s through the 1990s, Los Angeles city departments created movies and videos for their own internal use. City Archivist Michael Holland presents a visual tour of lesser-known Los Angeles via these “home movies” and videos, rarely intended for public consumption. Join Michael for a chance to see the city from the inside out!”

Your Workout Data Might Be Helping Cities Build Safer Streets: “Now some cities and companies are experimenting with technology to record that information — which can be crucial in helping design or improve bike and pedestrian paths. And transportation planners are turning to data from apps that cyclists and runners use to track themselves.”

A Warmer, Fuzzier Los Angeles: “In today’s cities streets not only facilitate movement but provide ‘places’ to gather, to congregate, to sit, to watch, and to interact. Here, we see what Los Angeles is seeking to reclaim: not just public transit but also a more ambitious social idea — a sense of the street, of place.”
